Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3162662A1] [Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide a safe electric power steering apparatus with a good steering feeling that includes a function for getting out from restraint of a lateral flow or a one-sided flow, and enables acquisition of a better effect that a driver's load is reduced in the lateral flow or the one-sided flow. [Means for solving the problem] A motor current correction value calculating section that corrects a current command value by a motor current correction value based on a motor correction signal comprises a straight running state judging section that judges a straight running state of a vehicle, an adaptive calculating section that calculates and outputs the motor correction signal according to a straight running judgment result of the straight running state judging section, a steering angle and an action force, a vehicle speed sensitive gain section that outputs a vehicle speed gain corresponding to a vehicle speed, and an output calculating section that multiplies the motor correction signal by the vehicle speed gain and outputs the motor current correction value, and includes a function for getting out from restraint of a lateral flow or a one-sided flow by storing a steering angle at the time when the motor correction signal exceeds a threshold while judging straight running, setting new upper and lower thresholds for its stored value, and performing judgment based on comparison between the motor correction signal and the thresholds.
